Patent GB-377236-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to telephone systems
IPC: H04Q3/42
Filed: 1931-04-22
Abstract: 377,236. Automatic exchange systems. AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., Strowger Works, BELAS, F. T., 27, Arlescourt Road, West Derby, both in Liverpool, and BAKER, G. T., Blackbrook, Caerphilly, Glamorgan. April 22, 1931, No. 11974. [Class 40 (iv).] The transmission of a re-routing code from a register-controller when all outlets over a normal route are found busy is effected by temporarily transferring the exchange code from the office register to the sending switch, releasing the office register, and then re-setting it automatically to a new position in accordance with the setting of the sending switch. For such re-routing positions, all contacts of the first level, the first contacts of other levels, and other spare positions are used. When a busy condition is reached, alternating current sent back from the first code selector operates relay D intermittently, successively energizing relays AR, BR, G. Relay G operates relay CR and extends ground from lead 10 over the upper winding of relay BR to conductor RR to release the first code selector. When release is complete relay BR releases, completing a circuit trom lead 10 over wipers 2c, 3e, and conductors 14, 15 for relay IG which connects springs SPS to magnet SNM of the sending switch SND. Stepping takes place until wiper 4f reaches the terminal jumpered to the contact with which wiper 6a of the office register is in engagement, when relay SZ operates completing a circuit for the release magnet BCZ of the office register. When release is complete, normal contacts N4 connect ground over lead 16 to off-normal bank le of the output control switch CNT and when this switch is restored to normal the ground is extended to relay CS which locks and releases CR. Relay BR is operated over its lower winding and completes a circuit through its upper winding for vertical magnet BCV which interacts with relay G to step the office register until a circuit is completed over vertical wiper VW and wiper 5f of the sending switch to hold relay G over its left-hand winding. The relapse of relay BR completes a circuit over the left-hand winding of AR for rotary magnet BCR which similarly steps the office register rotarily until a holding circuit for relay G is completed over wipers 6f of the sending switch and 6a of the office register. Relay AR then releases completing a restoring circuit for the sending switch, after which re-routing digits are transmitted in known manner in accordance with the new positions of office register wipers 1a .. 5a. If a code corresponding to one of the re-routing positions is accidentally dialled, relay M operates over a bank PBX in which such positions are marked by the insertion of screws in an apertured plate, to release the registercontroller and control the supply of a numberunobtainable tone. Specifications 358,043 and 361,849 are referred to.
